Hey guys

Recently in TvT I have been going 1 rax fe into full mech, and its been working pretty well. However I find early cloak banshee harrass is especially hard to deal with since, other the initial defensive marines, I have no anti air to speak of(Until thors pop out). Also, an engie bay is not really a priority in this build.

So what I wanted to know is, when do I scan to check for banshees? And do I make a engie bay anyway just in case?

I usually scan at around 5:30 - 6 mins to find out if it's 1 base banshee rush

I scan around 6:30 that is the most efficient... Cuz if he goes for banshees you see it... But I do not scan if I have spotted a expo

Hi, as mates above said scan around 6-6.30 min if you dont spot an expo and he walls off, just to make sure. One alternative is to try this build, which is variation of 1-1-1 and you expo later but save 1 scan.

Hope it helps.

Well i find it more effient to just build a barrack and lift it off to come to the bottom of things. If hes doing some tech rush he wont have enough to shoot it down before it reveals hes base and if he does shoot it down you get a solid look at hes army.

+ you get to enjoy the mule and will save some minerals on this .Its a free turret to scare away the banchees while your catching up.

Thanks for the tips guys :)
